Old School in the Too Tall Grass

This group of pictures were all in one box labeled "Old School." Most of them are copies that Mr. Williams made for customers. This is a large group posing for this picture in the tall grass. No other information is known. -- LLF Library caption.

Love the fashions: the flapper hats, the overalls, the dropped-waist dresses, bobbed haircuts, newspaper boy caps, and the hoot owl celluloid glasses on the older gentleman with the white beard in the front row.

Most likely from the 1920s, just where this photo was taken and who these folks are (a church community, perhaps?) is a mystery.

As always, if anyone recognizes a relative or an old family friend -- even the building, please leave a comment here or on my Facebook page.
